Willock has done ok imo. Mentality/attitude looks much better.

we have a decent shape to us in possession today I think.

I thought this but they are winning practically every second ball off it, so could be deliberate.

ffs do a goal man

be mint if Arsenal rest loads of players against Bournemouth and lose at the weekend. If we beat Brighton…

Odegaard might actually be trash

It would be fine if they weren’t competing with us . Football fans, myself included, are nothing if not incredibly petty.

pretty funny how every sniff of even a half-chance has gone in for Forest all season and then hey get to a semi-final and nowt’s going for them at all.

seeing goals like that Gvardiol one really reinforces the value of Big Dan Burn. Murillo is really good but he’s also too short to be top level.

you really want him to do well because when he’s good he can be really good, and he seems like a nice lad, but he just doesn’t seem bothered this season. If someone wants to give us £15-£20m I think we take it.

Trips is still mint

flat track bully

I reckon we'll get a few more if we just stick Dan up front now to be honest. They're set up to invite crosses and that's all we'd have to do.

Finally a cross worked

Delap is good but he spends most of the game falling on the floor

That's a really good chance because it's Barnes. Usually clinical from there.

100% a pen, you can't pull people back running at full pelt

Isak pls remember how to kick the ball

Enciso knows it

we have had so many opportunities to create good chances

That Chelsea game is everything isn’t it. I’m giving myself a migraine thinking about it

Charlton keeper been amazing, sadly

we were definitely beaten by the better team on the day but I think it’d be a bit daft to think that having the manager wouldn’t make any/much of a difference really. Like I say tactically we don’t know how much input all of the staff have but we were miles off them everywhere. Of course there are various reasons for this but it’s hard for me to imagine Howe setting us up that badly and persisting with it through the full 90 without really changing anything. We were very lucky it was only 4 - could easily have been really embarrassing.

specifically in terms of mentality I think Howe would help a tonne. When players like Bruno and Schar go head’s gone he’d be there sorting them out. After that we don’t know what else Howe brings in terms of tactical detailing but I think it’s obvious that we’d be better off with him there isn’t it?

so bad, proper heads gone all game.
